I don't think the shape matters. The key is that most companies couldn't hit that size until the late 80s/early 90s at the earliest. In other words, the market is way bigger now. You can do things that were impossible before, even if you were a Citi.https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1095404097509961729 …
Yeah, possibly what this data is really showing us is a sort of threshold, and that if we want to see a historical trend in growth rates, we should be looking at time to e.g. 10 billion. Any chance of getting that @JonErlichman?

So many confounding variables. That is the time of the rise of the internet, acceleration of growth of the global poor + middle class (esp China), globalization... Yes, please and thank you!

Also if you have a time series you might be able to answer by plotting. Do large companies that survive to key time period [t, t+n] just all experience secular growth to a certain megacap size, whether old or new?

Maybe time to some % of GDP?

50bn is about 0.25% of US GDP, or 0.05% of World GDP. sth like (Revenue RTLR / reporting year GDP) > 0.01% would be interesting. Someone with a Bloomberg terminal should be able to pull this up quick

It would be also interesting to see a comparison with Chinese companies.
